OOTD | Work Style

A little story about these distressed jeans from H&M in the Lambton Mall. The style is Vintage Skinny High Jeans. I got a lot of questions about them during my Lambton Mall Instagram Takeover. I originally purchased them in a size 28 but after trying them on once more at home, I exchanged them for a 26. I love the way they look snug better than relaxed and because they have spandex in them, I know they will give over time. I decided I am willing to put up with the super snug fit for a few wears, until they relax a bit. I hate it when my jeans bag out too much and I am pulling them up all the time, so I am hoping these beauties hold their shape because I LOVE the style.

For this work outfit I wanted to look chic and effortless. Each piece is simple but also special. The denim fits well so it doesn't look sloppy, the top is just a t-shirt but the ruffle makes it feminine and the tailoring of the coat gives the whole look a polished finish. The jeans and coat are from H&M and the top is from Lace & Charm. The top is no longer available from L&C but they have a lot of other fun ruffle pieces in right now (I have my eye on some ruffle joggers). I did find a similar top and linked it below.

I am very excited to have this coat in my collection, I think the colour and style will be one I can wear in winter, spring and autumn. I have really been giving a lot of thought to my outerwear collection lately and am loving how the right coat creates the perfect outfit.
